Trump threatens to take back control of Panama Canal over ‘ridiculous fees’

Al Jazeera  

Trump also hinted at China’s growing influence around the canal, which connects the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. United States President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to demand control of the Panama Canal after accusing Panama of charging excessive rates on US ships passing through one of the busiest waterways in the world. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop.” The US largely built the canal in 1914 and administrated territory surrounding the passage for decades. If the moral and legal principles of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question,” Trump said.
